Have you ever been in a situation where you are completely aware of your surroundings but you're confused as hell?

This book gave the same feeling. The prose was ridiculously well written but half of the time I don't know what's happening.

This book belongs to a genre of metafiction where anything can happen and the author has utilised it well in his story.

I love Lord Spider for his quirkiness. All the characters are well sketched and a delight to read. I particularly enjoyed the discussions between Lord Spider and JL Pillai. Though I enjoyed reading this book, I still couldn't grasp the whole idea of this book. Many times I found myself stop reading and I took frequent breaks in between. The prose was brilliant but tiresome to read as well.
Overall for those who like to read metafiction, this book will be a treat. But for me, I have to do a re-read to understand that the story itself. So I do think that however good it may be, this is not the book I would like to experiment or read.
